Roomates

I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
Proverbs 8:12

We often are sometimes challenged with having to determine who we want to room with during periods of our life - summer camps, college and in the military. We often struggle with the decision and try to figure out which characteristics will make the best room mate. Is it someone we get along with well? The recluse that will leave us alone? It is always a tough decision that lends itself to second-guessing.

There is no doubt about the room mates described by Solomon in the verse above. They are naturals - prudence and wisdom go together like peanut butter and jelly. The results of combining them in your life is better than any PB & J sandwich! Wisdom claims that they develop witty inventions but I favor their impact in allowing us to make sound decisions. They result of their habitation in our lives ensures that we follow God's will.

Have you made room in your life to let these roommates in? More importantly, have you made room for Jesus in your life? If so, he will bring along his friends, wisdom and prudence, to stay with you. If not, please invite Christ into your life - it will be the wisest decision you have ever made!
